It implements multiple earth models\u2014ellipsoidal (Exact, Karney, Vincenty, Nvector) and spherical (Trigonometry, Nvector)\u2014each providing LatLon and Cartesian coordinate classes with methods to compute distances, bearings, intersections, and geometric properties. The library includes coordinate system converters (UTM, UPS, MGRS, OSGR, ECEF, Web Mercator, Cassini-Soldner), map projections (Albers, Lambert, azimuthal), path simplification algorithms (Ramer-Douglas-Peucker, Visvalingam-Whyatt, Reumann-Witkam), polygon clipping and boolean operations, height interpolation with Geoid models, and distance metrics (Fr\u00e9chet, Hausdorff). Most functionality requires only Python; optional features depend on geographiclib, numpy, scipy, or external C++ utilities. Code is transcoded from JavaScript originals and C++ classes published under MIT.","worth_installing":"Yes. PyGeodesy is a mature, actively maintained library (Production/Stable, 331 GitHub stars, recent release) with zero known vulnerabilities, no runtime dependencies, and permissive MIT licensing. It is suitable for any project requiring geodetic calculations, coordinate conversions, or geographic geometry."},"id":"pygeodesy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pygeodesy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pygeodesy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pygeodesy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pygeodesy","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Pure Python geodesy tools"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":453932,"position":6571,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"26.7.27"}
